Your Next BACKBAR Drink Based On Your Chinese Zodiac Sign

In the Shadow of Palm Trees

In the Chinese zodiac, rats are instinctive, acute, and alert. They are also, like, SUPER POPULAR...sound familiar? That's why your next BACKBAR cocktail is In the Shadow of Palm Trees, with Tromba tequila blanco, Carpano Bianco, Ancho Verde, lime, and guava cordial. Our super refreshing take on a margarita is perfectly tasty and universally appealing, just like you!

Those born in the year of the ox are described as simple, honest, and straightforward. So for your next visit to the BACKBAR, we can bet you'll be happy as an ox with a glass of Waikiki Brewing Eee Pah IPA. This classic, handcrafted brew takes it back to the basics so you can simply sip and sigh.

DDK

You're a Tiger – powerful, independent, confident, and brave – which is why you'd love our DDK cocktail with Botanist gin, Lagavulin 16yr scotch, Yellow Chartreuse, Luxardo maraschino liqueur, corriander cardamom and tea tincture. Did you know...the guy after whom this drink was named shares many of your amazing traits! Who is it? Come on in and we'll tell you.

Moet & Chandon Champagne

If you're born in the year of the rabbit, you may be described as graceful, sensitive, and hospitable. So what better for you to cheers with in the BACKBAR than Moet & Chandon Champagne? What are you waiting for, hip hop on over for a glass of classy bubbly!

That Pink Drink

Like the literal name of this cocktail suggests, Dragons are frank and blunt, and also lively and intellectual. There's none better to sip over a spirited debate than That Pink Drink, with Laird's applejack brandy, Belle de Brillet pear liqueur, and Lucid absinthe. It'll have you breathing fire (calm down, not literally) in no time!

Jealous Lumberjack

While snakes are wise and witty, they can be cunning, sly, and suspicious. There's no need to be green with envy; you, too, can enjoy the Jealous Lumberjack, featuring Kikori Japanese whiskey, Saler's gentian, Midori, lime, citrus syrup, and orange bitters. Plus, we have no doubts you'll easily charm your way into the BACKBAR. Sssssee you soon!

Old Fashioned AF

You're a horse - dynamic and zealous with LOTS of friends! That's why you'll love our take on this classic...not just an old fashioned, Old Fashioned AF! It's got Russel's 10yr & Stagg Jr. bourbons, Michter's straight rye, sugar, and Angostura bitters for the perfectly dynamic cocktail. Plus, horses are known for their generosity...next round's on you!

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

As a sheep, you are tender, polite, and kind-hearted. On your next trip to the BACKBAR, enjoy a white as delicate as your soul – the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc, with a concentrated and mouthwatering palate, and juicy stone fruit and subtle tropical characters underpinned by a fine minerality and meyer lemon acidity.

Devil's Swing

Monkeys are clever, quick-witted, and intelligent, which is why you already know we're recommending for you the Devil's Swing. It's got El Silencio mezcal Espadin, Punt e Mes, apricot liqueur, and thyme-infused olive oil. And, since you're so smart, we're betting you can figure out how to walk away with this drink without having the oil drops meld together! (We sure can't.)

If you were born in the year of the dog, you're loyal, responsible, and courageous. That's why you'll enjoy an ice-cold glass of 808 Pale Ale. This APA is a tried-and-true classic that'll never do you wrong. It's why we love it...and you!

Patz and Hall Pinot Noir

Pigs are independent, responsible, and optimistic. So, we know you'll love this Patz and Hall Pinot Noir. This complex, robust red will bring out the wino in you, and will leave you with a spicy kick. After all, it's your year...live it up!
